Solna, Sweden / Barcelona, Spain, May 28, 2026 – Telenor IoT, a leading global provider of IoT connectivity, and Sateliot, the leading Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation based on the 5G standard, today announced a strategic partnership. The collaboration represents a significant milestone in expanding global IoT coverage, enabling standard NB-IoT devices to transition seamlessly between terrestrial and satellite networks without proprietary hardware or custom integrations.
Outside populated areas, geographical coverage remains limited or non-existent in many parts of the world. For applications that require coverage in areas such as oceans, mountains, and remote agricultural or industrial areas, other means of communication than mobile connectivity need to be considered.
